Bioactive collagen
Due to its unique capabilities, collagen creates a
protein net on the skin, the skin does not lose
moisture and cells become ﬁrm and energized.
They begin to produce their own collagen. The
skin becomes more smooth and delicate, its
ﬂexibility and tension improves. It regains its
ﬁrmness, elasticity and healthy appearance
much faster. It smooths wrinkles, slows down
the ageing process. In the collagen formation
process besides protein we obtain chains of
peptides and free amino acids. The main
function
of
peptides
is
to
facilitate
“communication” between cells and to
stimulate natural physiological processes in the
skin. Moreover, polypeptides reinforce the
protective ﬁlm of the skin, preventing the
inﬂuence of harmful factors. Amino acids have
the capability for retaining moisture, they are
the NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor)
component, which is the natural moisturizing
factor of the skin. They moisturize, increasing
the hygroscopic eﬀect of other NMF
components. They soften the skin and make it
more ﬂexible.
Collagen is the most important protein to the
human body. It represents 30% of the total
protein mass in the human body and is
responsible for the ﬂexibility, ﬁrmness, proper
moisture level of the skin and the continuous
renewal of its cells.
With age, the body loses its capability to
regenerate collagen which eﬀects we observe
by watching our skin condition grow worse.
One of the methods for slowing/preventing skin
ageing caused by the decreased production of
collagen is to supply it from the outside.
Attempts at initial synthetic collagen usage and
bovine collagen application did not produce the
desired eﬀect in cosmetics and implantology.
This is mainly because the biologically active
collagen in amino acid chains identical to
humans has not been acquired so far.
The discovery of the method of obtaining ﬁsh
collagen, which maintains the structure of the
triple helix - speciﬁc to the proteins of living
8

organisms - has become one of the most
interesting discoveries in biochemistry in the
twentieth century. According to many, it is
probably one of the greatest discoveries of
worldwide cosmetology and biotechnology of
proteins.
As a result, this work has appeared on the
market a unique preparation proteins showing a
strong corrective skin properties, which
successfully used is by a huge consumer base in
many countries of the world.
It is one of the few preparations that directly
deals the causes of skin ageing (collagen
deﬁciency) as opposed to the thousands of other
cosmetics that instead deal with the
consequences.
